Under-21 coach before Slovakia match – Lustrinelli: “A defeat could destroy everything” – Sport

The Swiss Under-21 national team has so far impressed across the board in the EM ranking. Last Friday the youth internationals celebrated their fifth win in their fifth game against Slovakia and shone in the 4-1 win, especially on offense.

Now the second leg in Slovakia awaits the leader of Group 2. “I expect a very difficult game,” says coach Mauro Lustrinelli. “It is revenge. It is clear that the Slovaks want to show that they have a completely different quality. “

“There are still 5 games to go”

Despite the successes achieved to date, Ticino warns of excessive euphoria: “We have only reached the middle of the season. So far I’m very satisfied, but there are still 5 games to go. “

Consequently, Lustrinelli demands a focused and concentrated appearance against Slovakia. “We cannot afford defeat, it could ruin everything,” said the former international.

The toughest rival of the Swiss in the fight for victory in Group 2 is France. Thanks to a 2-1 win against Azerbaijan on Monday night, the French caught up with the Swiss on points.
